if you find stats of tear gas at rallying cry and anger at islamic president mohamed morsi who has granted himself so we've been new powers. israel and hamas observe a shaky cease fire despite trading accusations of violations after several riots and the deadly force. in the truth and you are a bunch it is still up in the air as leaders fail to agree on how much they want to be spent. international news live from moscow this is all she with me hello and welcome to the program egypt's security forces have fired tear gas at angry protesters ranting

against islamic president mohamed morsi a new decree granting him sweeping powers has spawned demos across the country their opposition has started it sit in protests in tahrir square pledging to fight what it calls were also its power grab kyra based journalist who has the details. what i've really seen is quite harsh tactics used by the police to stop protests in tahrir square using a lot of tear gas on protesters throwing rocks down on protesters from the top of buildings we've also seen molotov being thrown back and forth at the same time we've demonstrations at the presidential palace in support of the president and also across the country we've seen president the president protesters clashing in front of brother headquarters so there's been quite a lot happening is actually in a strange way united the opposition forces you've been quite divided recently there was mass uproar when the president announced his constitutional declaration which

essentially awarded him powers over the judiciary it also said that his decree and his that gratian is would be an appealable and this is something that's led commentators to call him the new pharaoh and to call the document in essence a coup so what we're seeing here is massive criticism of the president and actually quite a lot of fear that he's really becoming a new tactic a dictator because he actually has right now more power as the mubarak ever did the president does have a very large support base here was the hails from the muslim brotherhood which is a very organized organization and very able to get the protesters the members to the streets which is why we saw thousands in front of the presidential office in support of the president so really whether the oppositional forces can convince the people that that the president morsi is doing is wrong is to be seen. president has defined as the new decree granting him substantial powers mostly told

his supporters he was needed in the country on a path to freedom and democracy but journalist ahmed santé believes military rule in egypt has simply been replaced by another kind of dictatorship. what have mohammad morsi done mubarak in the height of his power could not even dream of achieving morsi is part of the muslim brotherhood and islam or fascist group they have control over their members and supporters it is very simple and a country with more than forty five percent of its population are illiterate to control them in the name of religion gyptian as i'm now seeing clearly they have replaced the military fascist style regime of hosni mubarak into the religious fascist regime of mohamed morsi and the muslim brotherhood egyptians and they have undertaken a revolution back in january twentieth levon calling for three simple things bread freedom and social justice neither of these three. calls demands that

they have called for and in the revolution have been achieved the state of the egyptian of qana me is in shambles this state of freedoms it's been marginalized people wanted to establish a democracy they wanted to establish solid at the here and to human rights they wanted to have social justice applied and not to turn it from the military to the religious fascism. he was talking to. a fragile ceasefire between hamas and israel remains intact and has now ended its day that's despite accusations from biased sides that there have been violations of the truce but several riots and shootings near the border one man was killed and nineteen teenagers injured one israeli soldiers opened fire to palestinians who entered a no go zone at the border things really defense forces said around three hundred

people from gaza approach to security affairs at different points on friday and warning shots have to be fired the details of the peace deal to allow the openings of crossings are still to be negotiated where these are all opposing their demands are completely off their bilocate and political analyst in gaza are highly. has already a victory scored by hamas. really so i think netanyahu and his government. or i would pretty much put them in the category of short term losers in this. just all ensure that we really how israel has no long term strategy in dealing with the powerful people early garden hamas by clinging saw. hard to it's cool to resist and of course. while bridging on.

to be honest with you just before that the attacks. popularity was pretty much it and now it's coming back again to the scene and. preventing. a ground invasion on the how often you know pretty much. at least that's what the public you know those things. polls show about half of all israelis think their government should have pushed forward with their phones that killed of one hundred sixty palestinians while hamas rocket attacks killed six israelis and my colleague given our earlier talk to alex spokesman from the prime minister's office who now says israel's only goal is peace. definitely there are many people in israel that think the prime minister should. get more in or get more of this operation go in ground operation because these people don't believe but hamas will really stop firing rockets and fortunately

unfortunately people cannot believe that the international community can. pressure in for is this ceasefire and that's why people are so kind of frustrated that the prime minister started that peroration but again the fact the prime minister of peroration proved that we don't want to invade we don't want to we just want stability and peace that sounds great on paper but the underlying tensions haven't gone away of that we could talk about this for a long time. and i'd like to ask you about that so while you're on the line an interested party course in all this looking on some officials there said that israel is showing weakness by letting a mass of the hook how concerned are you with terrans reaction well first of all i don't think israel was weak israel was poor is needed to stop the rockets just let us live in peace we will not use force believe me because even

though with those surgical attacks what we've heard the word described a lot over the last couple of days there were dozens of civilians in gaza killed including thirty seven children will anyone in your government or military be held accountable for those deaths you think differently and we're really really sorry for these deaths and that's good what we want we want to target in heard only those who fire rockets and. that spokesman of benyamin netanyahu is out it's coming up talks between easily describe some brussels no decisions reached on the trailing europe but as we can strong the members battle it out how much just kind of coming after the break. the mighty volga that runs deep through the russian soul has provided inspiration for songs and poems and is the country's main north south artery and decades ago

schumann ingenuity connected it to the dawn river to the west the vocal dawn canal is an engineering marvel within a day a vessel can pass the canals thirteen blocks ten million tons of shipping does so every year. another concrete giant is this finished fifty years ago it's the biggest hydroelectric plant in europe empowers the local city of volgograd and sends lots more electricity to moscow the hydroelectric plant behind me is a potent example of how much the volga can provide but harnessing the revelent this isn't without its cost. fishermen have been watching fish stocks for years they see the damage the downing of the river has done especially to russia's prized sturgeon the source of caviar. the hydroelectric plant has done significant damage because it's stocked fish swimming up river to the spawning grounds. within a year all these houses would have gone fallen into the river depending on how many

of the hydroelectric plants turbines are on the water level can change suddenly and dramatically too suddenly for the banks to absorb. control of the river flow by the plant has made building on the shoulders front plain more attractive serious floods are less likely but the water that is put into the drains is taken away from the fish that need it now but last the voice of the voters of color jay might start being heard. the first time in fifty years the rules will contain a point on maintaining biodiversity in the river still have a chance to bring the volga back to life. meaning that the mighty volga is treated with the respect. it deserves. wealthy british style.

live from moscow thanks for watching your leaders who have been battling over the common budget in brussels for two days have failed to reach any decision we can members wanted top hold on support programs while large contributors to e.u. coffers the belt tightening in line with us tires have home. will have to work harder next year to come to an agreement if they don't want to fall back on will cost the annual budgets but overall but also directs britain's largest u.s. skeptics think time says countries need to complete control of it up on our fast to prosper. if countries how they want to manage their own economies as they see fit then we wouldn't have this offer last i would say that we're seeing we would have had these unsustainable which. in southern europe and ireland and of course we wouldn't have this enormous bust which is creating a massive unemployment if their countries had their own rights to manage their own affairs and set their own legislation to their own interest rates many german economies as they see fit without having to hand over billions each year to

brussels as britain does we'd be generally a lot better off really the opinion we're seeing is reached the limits of its levels of integration there are moves to expand more powers to the e.u. to have more e.u. control over national member states budgets even to have its own sources of income it's only you taxes that of course he's pushing it too far it's gone far too far in the wrong direction which is centralization and it powers were turned i think the atmosphere in europe would be a lot better what course in terms of the britain's own deficit and the debts that the u.k. has it is a small amount that the european union's asking for because the european union has already taken so much power people are just loathe to accept a situation where they're going to get any more money and while europe struggles to find a common way forward some regions are looking for ways to go it alone in spanish

catalonia people are set to go to the polls to elect a regional government which could see a referendum on its independence party as andrew farmer. there's a wind of separatism blowing through europe at the moment and it's reached the northeastern shores of spain catalonia is the latest region to officially our spare independence is something people here have long felt in their hearts but now they're feeling it in their pockets. i think it's a good idea to be in the band them from. a country. which is. really really bad situation it's a bargain for. it's a bargain for the cool good to prague castle i'm flags can be seen hanging from balconies throughout barcelona reflecting a growing desire for home rule under drive to break away from the central government in madrid this weekend's local election is being fought on that issue alone catalan president after

a mass has made it the centerpiece of his campaign this convergence union party to hold an independent referendum if they win and say a free catalonia would be a cure all for the region's economic problems that have seen unemployment top twenty five percent since the economic context in europe and in the south of europe has been a catalyzer of. the. movement we can see dozens of people including the believe that with our own resources human capital economic resources we could be better off if not being in the spanish estate this is a reality that a lot of economic research has show many catalans find it a persuasive argument it's one of spain's wealthiest regions producing a fifth of the country's economic output but it pays around sixteen billion euros a year more in taxes than it gets back in madrid which has in turn insisted public

services into austerity cuts. this is not fair i mean we are the ones who are. doing our best in the mccormick reasons we cannot have all the weight of this measure and the central government that for us is the one who is spending the most and not in the best way last september barcelona witnessed one of the largest separatist rallies here since the nineteen seventies over one and a half million catalans took to the streets to call for independence but the path to becoming a new european state is far from smooth the proposed referendum is against the spanish constitution what's more withdrawing from spain could also force this region to drop out of the european union those against separatism believe it could do more harm than good. separatism for going alone or would be an economic disaster multi-national companies located in barcelona for access to the spanish working and being in the e.u. that would be lost which more even of separatism does not happen just talking about

it creates uncertainty and that is the last thing the economy needs during this current crisis. with poll suggesting after mass will win reelection barcelona and madrid look set free. the president this spanish military association colonel leopoldo sanchez has even suggested it might lead to another civil war political parties dismissed that as extreme rhetoric but remaining catalans you hope this weekend will mark the first step towards the breakup of spain. andrew farmer r.t. catalonia. it threatens to spread throughout the gulf world and it's not political strife this time that's a serious respiratory virus claims all isaac out of saudi arabia raising concerns the flu may turn into an epidemic or a thought of that. also yes actually two thousand and six the pressure is around the world that's according to himself that's here france has fired and

miscalculation by several yeah the birth of christ and the question how and all these houses are waiting for god's. his website. let's now take a look at some other stories making the news this hour a bomb explosion in pakistan has killed at least seven people including children and wondered dozens of others the blast took place during a muslim perception of the state here which was a stronghold of sunni militant groups the mobile phone service and the area has been temporarily cut types are often triggered by handsets the tension between sunni and shiite groups is especially high at present with a major muslim holiday this week. police in thailand have used tear gas on the first major anti-government protest against prime minister should i want sixteen month old government around ten thousand have poured into the streets while a group of demonstrators were tear gassed when they tried to great through a police about a barricade of protesters accuse the pm of a moment he started to corruption the government is on high alert and says it could

call in on his support if the situation gets out of control. a large blast in a part restaurant in china's northern province has killed at least fourteen people and injured dozens the exposure of rocks the two story building triggering triggering a blaze and damaged nearby shops six people were killed at the scene the rest died of their injuries in hospital so an investigation to determine the exact cause of the explosion is now underway. multiculturalism is on the rise in norway with many muslims among those contributing to a rapid growth in population in the scandinavian country but as maria few notion reports radical elements in the expanding islamic community is of increasing concern for locals. tolerance is no one is well known trademark maybe even to well known thirteen percent of the country's five million population a remembrance but it seems it may be suffering from its own hospitality district

absolutely everywhere we can but sometimes people call. it started as if it's. immigrant i mean a population for years has been home to a large number of outsiders who believe in peace and many locals treated exactly the same besides it's not enough a while ago a radical islamic group demanded to make its independence from the city and the sharia law territory to feel literally. in a letter sent to some of the country's politicians and journalists and known extremists have threatened to carry out and nine eleven in no way if their demands are not met. it's really something. to be taken seriously but this is not the first death threat coming from noways muslim community in this we do know a pakistani born in mom preaches those not praying should be brought to prison for those not fasting during ramadan decapitated it isn't possible to kill

here in the river yeah no problem all weapon is made to kill we hear concerns over how some immigrants bring part of their cultures to norway from the head of the country's hunting union. our something courses in this there were pending for muslims who seem to have more interest. in nature and helping attending courses is one of the two legal ways in no way to get a personal weapons license if you don't respect the rigid rules and you want to. live in norway and then you can go back to your country opposition party member. himself came to no way as a political refugee in the late eighty's he says the ruling labor party is importing voters immigrants are indeed among the parties strongest supporters but the price is high how can you integrate minority when the minority is

actually the majority in the society who is going to learn from. well you are. such rhetoric is too familiar to every norwegian a homegrown terrorist killed seventy seven here last summer protesting against the take over of muslim immigrants also one towards one of those on that island last july his comrades and friends were killed right in front of his very eyes he says he survived to fight for would brave it try to destroy the most important. values. it's a fight the fight for democracy. justice it's something that we need to focus on despite concern for the threat to kill made by some immigrants may be a real noways unlikely to give up its dollar and small toe in fact it's quite the opposite for many the only response to brave immigrants motivated massacre is seen

immigrants embraced more than ever before. no way. the turkey dinners had barely been arrested this week before most americans don't start giving to buying black friday is because one of the country's biggest shopping days of the gear all his new york resident has been to see what people actually think of the retailer hysteria. the holidays had the arrived in the united states but instead of talking about family and religion americans only to be talking about shopping why is that this week let's talk about that do you think that americans are aware of the irony of having a crazy frenzied shopping day the day after we give thanks for what we already have first day of the year which one thanksgiving or black friday the day after black friday exactly yeah it's a good time of year to go shopping and travel people. the world's ending anyway

twenty. so we don't have to worry about fixing are going to do. or is them we don't have to worry about shopping nothing do you think it's an american thing or do you think it's a worldwide thing. i think americans are probably worse than do you think americans are a little too obsessed with shopping for the holidays no i think it's great it's wonderful funs great to get out but it's spending money on stuff you don't necessarily me that's how the holidays are about what's makes the economy go round is that the most important thing you know we're hearing from this great are people obsessed with shopping where you're from well yes because we were you know the whole reason why we come here so we can shop so we are obsessed and we count wife it's mario what does it say about us as a society as humanity that we're so obsessed with consumerism. i think it's very pretty sad why do you think americans are so crazy about shopping during the holidays. no idea media you guys. how everyone's advice

that exactly and so they do with an economy in the tank a climate in shift and a world at war it might behoove us off to focus less on consuming and more on what's really important this holiday season and. they are. both want this coming up. sigrid laboratory to mccurry was able to build
